About Today: Easy Easter Decorating and Entertaining



About


Oscar Wilde gets it: "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations." Today, we're talking Easter—from festive decorations, to proper holiday etiquette, to fun activities for your guests—to ensure your Easter dinner is totally sweet.

Decorating for Easter
As if hosting Easter isn't impressive enough—you'll really wow your guests with festive, handmade decorations. Dress up the Easter dinner table with a DIY cake stand or pretty, spring-inspired decor; make a beautiful flower arrangement for your centerpiece; or craft personalized place settings inspired by these gorgeous, DIY greeting cards.

Easy Easter Meals
No, you can't just eat candy for Easter dinner ... though I really wish we could. Luckily, you don't have to start prepping your Easter menu weeks in advance. Whip up some delicious, spring-y salads, a few surprisingly simple desserts, ever-popular deviled eggs and—of course—a traditional Easter ham, made easy. Oh, and don't miss these tasty recipes for hardboiled eggs; what else are you going to do with all the leftover eggs from the hunt?

Practicing Proper Etiquette
We know, we know—having your entire family over for Easter dinner can be, ahem, trying. Whether you're new to hosting family holidays or a seasoned pro, we've got tips on being a gracious host or guest, dinner conversations you should definitely avoid and great table manners. Remember: if you run out of stuff to talk about, you can always start a (friendly) debate on the world's most polarizing Easter candy: marshmallow Peeps.

Festive Activities for Kids
Keep your littlest guests entertained—and under control while they're on a Easter candy sugar high—with fun, Easter-themed games and activities. Obviously, holding an Easter egg hunt is a no-brainer, but printable coloring pages, bunny-themed (and energy-burning) dance parties and super cute, bunny-in-a-basket crafts will keep 'em occupied while the adults sneak candy from their baskets.
